Obama does not want battle tested combat soldiers as part of his American Pacification Army - he wants as many of them as he can disarm and dispersed into the civilian population - likely declaring them ineligible to purchase weapons because of PTSD or some such.

He wants ideologues and sycophants of sympathy as his DHS army....that army as equally well equipped and well funded as the once-DoD army. ATF and BLS contractor goons. SWAT goons, FBI goons, you name it. Anything but an honorable American soldier.

We have 15 year veterans being discharged who have served many tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. They deserve better treatment and should have better retirement benefits like a 401k.
At the same time I hear that they are beefing up the SF and establishing many new teams that require Capt’s to lead them.

If so, then it was poorly thought through. The more battle tested combat soldiers we have dispersed into the civilian population - where there are >300 million available light weapons in private hands - the better off the People are. I think, if your summation is correct, that it represents an immensely valuable and wholly positive game changer for the nation.
